1962 junior prom photo provided by Skip McCarthy

Seated: Mary Ann Bagley, Cathy Burner, the late Jimmy Cain, Terri Morse

Standing: Skip McCarthy, Tommy Moriarity, Adrianne Carlino, Denise McCarthy, Al Echezuria, Jim Heyward

Most of the photos posted above did not come with any or much information, but they are interesting enough to be taken from our archives to be included here. The 1962 junior prom shot, in living color, captures the styles of the time.

The football team is the 1955 Levittown Red Devils. The two girls sitting together (Debbie Cooper and Susan Kilbride '62) is from 1958. And also from 1958 is a photo of Diane Sexton '61 and the late Bruce Garabrant '60. And the oldest picture, from 1949, is of Perry Bernstein '60 and his kid sister Jackie.

Vintage Levittown photos that tell their own story









There are hundreds of early Levittown photos in my files, a treasure chest of images. Many have been used to compliment stories that have been posted in our blog, and others will lend themselves to articles yet to be written.

At the same time there are many that don't seem to have a fit, often because there is no information for a caption. Old Levittown photos that I find especially pleasing have Levitt houses in them and were shot long before the humble abodes of our youth were pumped up on steroids, making them look like mansions.

The black and white photos posted above are part of our town's amazing history.
